Who was Blotar?

Blotar was a funny man with an odd sense of humor. He was loud, and it was impossible to be shy around him. He was very much loved by everyone, and he had a loving heart and a sense of adventure.

Why “Blotar”? When my sister Jessica and I were kids, Dad declared we were all packing up, moving away, and getting new names. Jessica was now Sislicilities. I was Omagnagus. And Dad? In a very loud, very booming voice:

“Me? I am Blotar.”
